Vascular endothelial (VE)-cadherin (VE-CAD), also called 7B4 and cadherin‑5 (CDH5), is a member of the cadherin family of cell adhesion molecules.
Cadherins are calcium‑dependent transmembrane proteins which bind to one another in a homophilic manner.
On their cytoplasmic side, they associate with the three catenins, alpha, beta, and gamma (plakoglobin).
This association links the cadherin protein to the cytoskeleton.
Without association with the catenins, the cadherins are non-adhesive.
Cadherins play a role in development, specifically in tissue formation.
They may also help to maintain tissue architecture in the adult.
VE-cadherin has been shown to play important roles in vasculogenesis and angiogenesis.
VE-cadherin is a classical cadherin molecule.
Classical cadherins consist of a large extracellular domain which contains DXD and DXNDN repeats responsible for mediating calcium-dependent adhesion, a single-pass transmembrane domain, and a short C-terminal cytoplasmic domain responsible for interacting with the catenins.
Human VE-cadherin is a 784aa residue protein with a 25aa signal sequence and a 759aa propeptide.
The mature protein begins at 48aa and has a 546aa extracellular domain, a 27aa transmembrane domain, and a 164aa cytoplasmic domain.
The human and mouse mature VE-cadherin proteins share approximately 74% homology.
